DS only gained 5 oz

[LauraMoser]

In the past three weeks. I took him to his 1 month check up last night. He is only up 5 oz since his last visit 3 weeks ago, and only 2.5 oz bigger than his birth weight. He also hasn't pooped since last Wednesday am.

Doc wasn't concerned about his low gain, but told me to give him a suppository tomorrow if he still hasn't pooped yet. I will be surprised if he does too. Poor boy.

I finally am getting in to see the LC on Thursday. I thought we had gotten the BFing issues worked out the other day, since I had a really good day with little pain, but it must have been a fluke, because the next day it was hurting again, and has continued to hurt. I've read tons of info online and tried different holds, positions, etc, to no avail. I'm kind of thinking it may be a tongue tie. Some of my symptoms match up with symptoms related to a tongue tie, so we'll see.

I am just amazed at how much different DS is from both DDs. I never had weight issues, poop issues, or nursing issues with either. I'm getting hit with it all this time around, lol. But given all that, he is still a mellow and easy baby. He gets upset sometimes when his belly bugs him, but that's usually the only time. And he's the cutest baby boy I've ever seen, but then I'm probably biased. ;D

Oh man, I hope he poops soon.
